NEVADA'S AGRICULTURAL IN
TERESTS.

The remark is often made that Nevada a
an Agricultural State rs failure; that farm
ers, after raising two or three crops Of grain
have given up in disgust and turned their at
tention to more profitable pursuits. The
latter assertion is a correct one; but it is
easily explained away. 1t has been demon
strated that all kinds Of cereals can be grow n
IN this State successfully; but in the absence
Of cheap transportation facilities there has
been found to be but little profit in farming
Our wheat has a reputation such as any ag
ricultursl country in the land might be
proud Of; our potatoes and other products
have a national reputation; our fruits sur
prised the country at the Worlds Fair at
New Orleans; and yet, despite their &C
knowledged excellence, but little of the
amount produced ever finds its way out Of
the State. The reason for this is plain In
the absence Of cheap transportation facilities
to tide.water, the grain, in some cases, has
been allowed to stand in the field; the fruit
has rotted on the ground, or has been fed 10
the hogs. This continued discrimination h. 5
disheartened our producers, and they haV
been compelled, in self-defense, to seek
ether pursuits.

Preliminary tests have shown that
iron cooled while strong current of
electricity was passing through it was
increased fully one-half in tensile
strength and ductility.
During 1886 eleven new asteroids

Professor BOnamico, of the Royal
Naval School of Leghorn, has invented
an important instrument for showing
not only the speed. but also indicating
the relative position of one ship to an
other, and so preventing collisions
"A manufacturer of Roubaix has in
vented a very curious application of
electricity to looms. He adopts an in
dicator which strikes when a thread
breaks, and thus saves the weaver from
the close attention to the quickly NOV
ing threads which is so injurious TO the
sight.-PopuJdr Science Ne1OS.
An apparatus OF iron and glass, in
which a pressure of one thousand at

purpose of studying the influence of
great pressure on animal life, has been
exhibited to biologists in France. With
it deep sea animals can be observed un-
der their natural compression.-Spri

The cut nail industry kept full pace
with other branches of the iron and
steel business during 1886. The total
production reached 8,16Q973 kegs of
100 pounds each against 6, 696,815 kegs
in 1885, 1851. 379 kegs in 1884, and
1852 1877 in 1888. The cut nail product.
like that of pig iron and steel, was the
largest the country ever saw.-Brook-

The very rapid progress which has
been made within recent years in the
manufacture and treatment of steel.
and IN the investigation of the proper
ties of other alloys of iron than those
with carbon, and the influence of i'm
purities on the properties of steel, have
left all our textbooks so far behind that
work intelligently recording our pres

ing the scattered information existing
IN public and private records, has been
greatly needed. Boston Budget.
Professor Milne, of Japan, who is
an excellent authority on earthquakes,
which are very frequent in that country,
thinks that the electric disturbances
which so often accompany the shocks
are the consequences rather than the
causes of the latter. 1t is really the
earthquake which produces the cleo
trical phenomena. In Japan earth
quakes are attributed by the ignorant
either to the action of an eight-legged
earthquake insect living under ground,
or to the movements of a great fish,
which ordinarily has rock on his head
to keep him quiet.-N 7. Ledger.

In anticipation of the usual dearth
of water the Frostburg water works
have ceased to flow one month earlier
than former seasons, or rather runs
dreamily along, giving about one-half
supply. Mechanic street, the av-
enue, and other localities are entirely
cut off, and unless something is soon
done to collect the abundant supply
that is now wasting at the upper
reservoir, the whole town must share
the same fate.
Now, why is this so9 Must the
people endure it forever? 1t is clear
that the management of the works is
largely if not wholly to blame. There
is plenty Of water, and small ex-
penditure of money would convey it
into the pipes. Then we reiterate-
why is it not done
We suggest that a meeting of the
citizens be called, make demand, and
If immediate measures are not taken
to give abundant supply, that pro-
vision be made for the same. If we
cannot have public water works, sure
ly there is sufficient enterprise in the
town to provide what is not simply
necessary, butindispensable. The way
things are and have been managed is
absolute trifing with the peoples rights
and the interests of the town.
We are sure the JOURNAL will en-
dorse any honorable course to give the
town an ample supply of water. X.

UNDER the heading of "Evils of q
Land Boom,' several very careful
papers, among them the Baltimore
San and Cumberland Ne,cs, have
published the following extraor-
dinary item:
Some of the evil results of the big
land boom at Los Angeles, California,
are beginning to be felt by property
owners. Last year Los Angeles coun-
ty was assessed at $40,0O0,000. This
year it is said the assessment will be
$l4O,OO0,0OO. To pay taxes ON such
an assessment will bankrupt some of
the big landholders and will force
small spectators out of the market.
If the above be correct statement
of the facts in the case, the fashion
of imposing taxes in California differs
very widely from that prevailing
elsewhere.
There is but one way of account
ing for the state of affairs above
described-an improbable one, it is
true, but not impossible. That is,
that the authorities take special care
thft the expenses of municipal and
hte government shall keep even

A STRONG PLEA.
FRosTBURG, MD, June 80, 1887.

FRosrBURG, MD, June 80, 1887.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The movement in progress to have
Steyer street widened from Broadway
to Taylor brings some facts to view
which the Mayor and Council should
weigh well, it being sufficient claim
to warrant them in widening this
street without delay.
The very costly Tiddy suit brought
out the allegation that the town had
made repairs ON Steyer street, there
fore the town had acknowledged that
street as a public thorougl,fare and
accordingly taken it within its care.
1t is contest too recent to be forgot
ten. The town stubbornly resisted
the claim, but court after court de-
cided against the town, and now
Steyer street is as much under the
care and control of the Mayor and
Council as Broadway or Main street.
The writer also learns that the
original plat of Beall's first addition to
Frostburg contemplated Steyer street
of even width all the way from Maple
street to Broadway, and that the lots
in the neigborhood were bought and
sold with that understanding. The
prices paid for the lots were based on
the advantages which a wide access
to town would afford the people.
For some reason the plan was never
carried out.
But for this we are not disposed to
blame anybody. We do claim that
the Mayor and Council should relieve
the people who bought the lots OF
the assessment usual in such cases.
The widening Of this street is a public
benefit not merely benefitting the in
dividuals who live and own property
on or near this street, therefore the
town should pay what little cost there
may be incurred in accomplishing the
end desired.
The character of the petition which
we learn will go before the Council at
their next meeting will speak louder
than any word of mine. Its names are
among the very best people in town
who are in full sympathy with this
movement, and represent citizens who
have never clamored for spoils, Office
or undue attention from the town
government. Now they claim thai
they have long enough endured the
| inconvenience, discomfort and loss
which narrow avenue has inflicted
on them and their property. They
claim that it is high time for the street
to be opened as intended; and they
expect the Council to exercise in thi:
case the very just power conferred or

Lost and Fomnd.-A church bell
rang out about 9 o'clock last Sunday
evening, and the startled people set
out from all quarters to "attend the
fire." For oncesa bell put them on
the wrong trail, the alarm being Civ
en- to rouse q sufficient number to go
in quest of a 24-year old son of Paul
Goldsworthy. Mr.. G. and wife were
absent from home dnring the day until
nlghtfall, when they were informed
that the little fellow had disappeared
FIVE or six hours before and had not
since reported. 1t was also stated
that the wanderer when last seen was
on the summit of the hill above the
cemetery pond. This very naturally
gave rise to the fear that he had fallen
in the water and drowned. A number
of parties started and the country was
thoroughly explored until about mid
night C. F. Nickel, our indefatigable
furniture man, found him asleep in
plowed ground over a mile from
home. The child was not alarmed by
the situation in which he found him.
self when awakened, nor much put
about by the demonstrations of interest
and joy that greeted his return. q

the expense on the few who have al
ready paid directly and consequential
ly three times thrice the amount in
inconvenience and loss of value to
their property.
Perhaps there is no narrow avenue
in Frostburg that is so generally used
as Steyer street both on foot and
general travel. In wet weather a
pedestrian has to walk in water, and
should two wagons meet it would be
next to impossible so pass each other.
To be convinced OF the absolute ne
cessity of this plea is only to be
acquainted with the circumstances.
